Companion Voices are singers based in the UK who gather to learn songs and prepare themselves to sing for people at the end of life. We share our voices, compassion and loving presence, whether in person or virtually, when called upon to do so. Our deep and trusting community supports all Companions as well as those we gather to serve.
If you’d like to:
- call on us to sing at a bedside
- join us as a Companion
- explore setting up a new group in your local area
- become a Friend of Companion Voices (supporting our work and becoming part of
CV’s community without joining a group)
please contact us on info@companionvoices.org.
Some of the songs we sing
Natu Maini
A lullaby with music by John Bowker to Swahili words meaning: ‘we hope you sleep well’… mp3 download
Companions
Written by Judith Silver, the founder of CV, inspired by Hazel Fall and Kay Ashton: we are all here with you… beside you, beside you… mp3 download
These songs were recorded online during summer 2020 by Companions from a number of groups, and edited by Bernard Burns, to whom we are very grateful.
Please also see our Songs We Sing page for more about our repertoire.
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the silent stars to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
